The Hell is an Irish Waterfall? Seriously. I wanna know.

To make smoke rings you place your tongue on the bottom of your mouth and form your mouth into an "o" shape. Then you let a bit of smoke escape from your throat and close it back off by making a clucking sort of sound with your throat which I believe is your asophagus pushing air or in this case smoke through.

Hard to explain, easy to do, and the more you do it the better the rings, and the further you can blow them.

edit - the sound could also be described as a very small coughing sound Edited by giant ninja robot

I think he means french inhale or the reverse waterfall.

As for the O's, the trick is to actually cough out the smoke. Shape your mouth into an O and start pushing out the smoke with little coughs. It's kind of hard to explain now. Youtube has alot of videos about this.. check it out!

Yeah, smoke rings aren't too bad once you know how to shape your mouth. Do it in the mirror to start with, shape your lips into as close to a circle as you can, then either flick your tongue ever so slightly, make the back of your throat 'cough', or even just sharply tap your cheek. After trying around a bit you should be able to blow rings.

The fatter you want the O's, the less you have to use your lips. Let me just put it out there.

Right on the money, it doesn't really matter if your lips are a perfect O... I mean, if you just open your mouth your lips should naturally be O-ish. I can't do the cough method, so I just push the smoke out with my tongue, just be sure to do it in 'bursts' to get multiple rings smile.gif

PS: you had me all excited about the Irish Waterfall trick, I though you meant the tornado one that someone posted a while ago... Edited by erufiku

First thing to know about O's, is you can blow them with your mouth in a bunch of different shapes.

First step: smoke control. You need to be able to control smoke coming out of your mouth without blowing.

once you can do this, now you move on to the "o" face.

second step: make your mouth into an O however you think is right. I tell people to say the letter o and hold the pose with your mouth as if your excensuating it.

third step: pushing the smoke out of your mouth. This can be done a few different ways. 1. use your jaw to push smoke out. 2. use your tongue, start by puting it on the bottom of your mouth then in one motion push it to the top, this should create enough push to help you get an o out. 3. Use your finger on your cheeck, the pressure of it should allow enough smoke to push an O out (also known as the choochoo train, or what ever people call it, essentially rapid O's)

Now there are many different ways that you can do this, just 3 easy ones i often use to teach people...hope it helps

The best way I've been able to teach people is to make an "uh" sound until it is no longer audible with the usual "O face." Once you figure out how much smoke to let out it just takes some practice.



Thats a great and easy description man, I'll use that from now on.
